Monsters by Terrain

The following lists group all of the monsters into their respective terrains. Note that there can be a certain amount of crossover on these lists, especially between climate bands, similar terrains or a planar terrain and the Material Plane. For example, although behirs are normally encountered in warm deserts, it’s certainly possible to encounter one in a temperate desert (but much less likely to find one in a cold desert).

Creatures created by Paizo Publishing are presented first; creatures from 3rd Party Publishers and creatures converted from prior editions are presented second, generally in the last column. In some cases, the number of creatures in a section have necessitated breaking the CR into two sections. Each section is clearly labelled.

Creatures from sources other than a Pathfinder Bestiary include a superscript abbreviation indication its source. Clicking the abbreviation takes you to a page explaining each abbreviation.
